Bungee Jumping

A bunch of people in my program want to go bungee jumping. They want to strap an elastic cord to their feet and jump off a bridge. They're not concerned about brain damage, or rocks, or snapping. They don't want to hear about it from me. Every time I say something, they say "Stop being a Jewish mother. Just come and do it with us. Don't be a puss. Puss 'n boots!"

I can now totally see myself standing on the bridge, and being pushed off. I can feel the wind. I can feel the rush of scenery. The idea of doing it is absolutely terrifying to me, but I can see myself doing it.

Always remember Wild Waves free-fall and you somehow having the insane job of pulling the "rip-cord" to start our fall. Never forget.
